Smyrna times., 1887-05-11

IT is somehow suggested that the,
great interest manifested by some of |
our citizens in the Peach Meeting at |
Dover tomorrow is serving as a con-
venient excuse to 60 down to see Bar
nuns circus.
THREE of the heavy men down a
certain Neck are noted more for the |
contribution of their money than their
presence to the support of their church,
and parties "betwixt and between"
have a standing offer of good hat to
the one of the three who will attend
the Oftenest during the year.
THIS is the season when the boy in
the water tells the boy on the bank
that it's Just as warm as dishwater,"
and the boy on the bank thinks that
it is JOY that makes the other fellows
teeth rattle and that it is the reflection
of the the sky and water that makes
him look so blue around the mouth.
He plunges in and confidence in human
nature receives another shock.
The papers all over the Peninsula
are detailing accounts of the camp fol-
lowers of Rice's circus-the three-card-
monte men and other swindlers who
are TObbing unsuspecting people of
their money. 1t is the old story of
trying to make money fast without
working for it, and they only lose
themselves what they expect to make
off of others. The sharpers like to get
hold of such greenies.
The following officers were elected
and enstalled in Smyrna Lodge l. o. G.

HIRNHEIMER is a little late this
Spring (acting in harmony with the
weather) in making his debut in our ad-
vertising columns, but the hot weather
last week stirred him up, and he ap-
pears this week, if not with the gaiesy
of the Oriole, he means business all the
same. With a handsome, well lighted
store, and a new stock of goods, prices
in the minimum figures, Hirnheimer
does not purpose to have a corner store
for nothing.
PERSONS who are familiar with the
fruit sales in city markets as forwarded
in long trains from our stations, saw
that beyond all other questions in its
money aspect, is the arrival of the
trains on time. The arrival of train
several hours behind is a detriment in
sales of several times the value of the
baskets. The basket question as COM
pare with the arrival Of the trains on
the schedule time contracted for, is
as dimes to dollars in the result.
THE rain that fell here was light, Ia
good growing rain on Sunday in com
parison to some other places. A dis
patch from Masseys to the Baltimore
Sun says:
Heavy rain storms, accompanied
by lightning and thunder, visited
Queen Anne's and Kent counties Fri
day night, Saturday and Sunday. Ii
the vicinity of Locust Grove, Ken
county, the rain came down in torrent!
washing the planted corn out of tn,
ground"
The BelLefonte (Pa) Daily NeaOs, il
speaking of the Moss Family's enter

r Dover is how to attend all these show,
Our advice is for all to go to Barnum
. and all that are interested in fruit cul
ture to attend the peach meeting
